CAPE COAST

I was admitted to the Central Hospital, Cape Coast for three weeks as I nearly passed away. As you know, I am staying alone in my hired room and I had a problem in the night and my co-tenant rushed me into hospital. I am very thankful to the Lord for saving my life. At present I am suffering with my eyes and I am in dire need of spectacles for reading and long sight.

Whatever situation I am in, I pray to the Lord that I should always continue to serve Him as he knows all my problems and nothing comes upon me without him knowing. “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved; he that keepeth thee will not slumber nor sleep.” (Ps.121:1-4). I am always encouraged by these words from the Almighty God who cares for me. “For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even unto death” (Ps.48:14).

There is very much hardship at present in Ghana, as things are in the shops and markets but money to buy them is very hard to come by. However, the good Lord is taking very good care of us all with the assurance that we shall all be in his Kingdom that His beloved dear Son is coming to set up on the earth and which we are all waiting patiently to enter. The present events going on in the world tell us that our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, will soon come to the earth and so we all have to hold fast and support each other as we are walking in that narrow and slippery road to the Kingdom. I know the love that you have towards me and I pray that you will all continue to send airmails.
